Careful layout is important with any switching regulator. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring
inductance generate voltage transients, which can cause problems. To minimize inductance and ground loops,
the lengths of the leads indicated by heavy lines in Figure 1 below should be kept as short as possible. Single-
point grounding (as indicated in Figure 1) or ground plane construction should be used for best results. When
using the Adjustable version, place the programming resistors as close as possible to GM7110, to keep the
sensitive feedback wiring short.
